DigiByte Update - #157 - Work on Core 8.19, Poloniex delisting and DigiByte Go update
Todays DigiByte Update looks at the start of the code for DigiByte Core 8.19, I'll talk more about what we're looking at putting in to it in the future
You have ~36 hours to pull your DigiByte off there, so please get on to it ASAP! There's currently around 262 million DigiByte on there that Poloniex will basically own, by default, if you don't: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dgb/wallet.dws?943805.htm
Thank you to everybody who has donated to the Go Wallet Dev Bounty!
We reached the goal in under 48 hours which was great to see:

I've sent off the DigiByte already, as work is already well underway.

I said my last video would be my last, I'm sorry, turns out that was a lie. Have a bonus video!
So you want to hear about the code Jared merged that caused the double spends on DigiByte? You've come to the right place.
I put up an article on Medium that I'd written several months back that explains how to maintain the security of the DigiByte blockchain:
https://josiah-digibyte.medium.com/maintaining-the-security-of-digibyte-b8cb18e35551
That will be through rebasing, not merging.
This is also my earlier article that talks about the history of DigiByte and the timeline of things:
https://josiah-digibyte.medium.com/in-pursuit-of-gpu-mining-a-timeline-pre-odocrypt-digibyte-v8-186e9a499647
And here's the accomplishments of somebody who'd actually been involved in DigiByte over the last 3 years and what htey look like by comparison (Coz nobody can tell me what Jareds actually done or why he's deserving of peoples constant worship):

Josiah talks about what has been going on for the Foundation, over the last couple of weeks, and what's being worked on now.
In this weekends livestream we'll talk about DigiID! We'll also look at centralization, premines, on-going mining bounties going to a centralized entity, and what it means to be really decentralized.

Is there truth to the rumors of a secret DigiByte memes channel?
Has the DigiByte Foundation actually been registered?
Will there be a party chat?

Todays DigiByte Update was inspired by a question from Crypto_Kyuubi:
https://twitter.com/crypto_Kyuubi/status/1190387940817592323
So thank you to Crypto_Kyuubi for asking, it's a fantastic question!
Is it decided that we'll do ProgPOW already? I then expand upon it a little and explain who decides which algorithms we're going to implement etc
You can check out the Medium post I reference here:

This is the old Odocrypt signalling stats site, which we'll get up and running for ProgPOW as well:
